* Fermium named after Italian-American scientist Enrico Fermi.
* Was descovered in 1952 by a team of scientist led by Albert Ghiorso testing the hydrogen bomb.
* Source of the symbol – From the name
* Melting point – 1527 C
Boiling point - none
Density - none
Abundance in the Earth’s crust (crust includes air, water, and land) - unknown
* Uses (how this element is used) – Is sometimes used in scientific uses but has not much use knowing there isn’t even much data found for this.
* Interesting facts – This element was found during testing of the hydrogen bomb. It is a radioactive metallic element. Is classified as one the “Rare Earth’s Elements”.
